ACGME case minimums for Pediatric Orthopaedics

Capnolog counts these live for anesthesiology and neurological surgery; other specialties are reference only.
What counts toward a minimum?
- Fellows log each case by procedure code and by their role in it.
- The Review Committee for Orthopaedic Surgery sets these requirements.
Where do these numbers come from?
- Case Log guidelines, November 2015
- Program Requirements, July 1, 2026
Capnolog is independent of the ACGME; where a number here differs from the ACGME's own document, the document is right.
